Clijsters' World Cup history

Kim Clijsters is a four-time Grand Slam champion and her dad Lei
Clijsters (who died aged 52 in 2009) was a centre-back who played for Belgium in the 1986 and 1990 World Cups.

"I was three when my dad was
at Mexico ’86 and seven when they were played at Italia ‘90. They reached the
semis in Mexico. I remember I had photos and the atmosphere and the vibe in
Belgium – in my home town was incredible," said Kim.

"When he had injuries I could
work out with him with a stopwatch – I went with him to the forest and timed
him running up a hill. It created a bond between us. When he became a coach I
would go to games and scout players. I was his buddy - ride in the car and
watch videos of the games.

"Vincent Kompany wrote the nicest letter when my father passed away.
He’s incredible. Those kind of things tells you a lot about people.

"I like the coach Roberto
Martinez. And I think assistant Thierry Henry doesn’t get enough credit. That
to me is surprising."

Belgium currently lead Brazil 2-0 in their World Cup quarter-final, which you can watch on BBC One or follow here.

Serena still going strong

As the oldest woman left in the draw, after her 38-year-old sister Venus was knocked out on Friday, Serena Williams is still leaving the younger players behind.

And despite her seeding of 25, and her world ranking of 181, the 36-year-old is looking every bit the player to beat.

"It doesn't really matter who I am playing," she said. "Every opponent is playing their 'A' game as we are seeing in this tournament with the top players going out. Technically I'm not a top player but I have the wins of one."

'I told myself I had nothing to lose'

Kiki Bertens knocked out Venus Williams earlier, here's what she had to say: "It means a lot, I cannot
really believe it. It was a tough match, a big fight but I am so happy I won this
one.

"I lost in Miami
earlier in the season and I had match point, so that came into my mind sometimes,
but I told myself ‘keep going, this is the third round of Wimbledon, you have
never been to the forth, you have nothing to lose and go for your shots.'

"It is tough to play aggressively
on grass for me but I did it well so I
am proud.

"I will have a little celebration,
rest a little, but I can celebrate a little because I am in the second week of
Wimbledon."

'We don't care what you have to say'

Marion Bartoli has sparked a feud with 15th seed Nick Kyrgios after she told BBC Radio 5 live's 6 love 6 she does not believe the Australian and Frenchman Gael Monfils have the right work ethic to win a Grand Slam.

"Yesterday Marion Bartoli had to say some nice things about Gael Monfils and myself. They’re ‘pathetic,’ ‘children,’ they ‘can’t become men,’ ‘wasting their life’ - Who are you to judge the way we go about things? Who are you to tell us how to do things, when u have no idea what we’ve been through?

"Stop assuming you know what’s best for others when you think you’ve had a little success. We get it, we know you have to remain relevant, but I’ll give you a heads up, we don’t care what you have to say."
